Celtic are weighing up an offer for Real Valladolid’s coveted £8.5million-rated winger Raul Moro.
Equally comfortable on either flank, Ajax have made the former Spain Under-21 international a priority signing
Despite technical director Alex Kroes publicly confirming his interest in the 22-year-old earlier this week, the Dutch giants have yet to meet Real Valladolid’s asking price.
The breakout star of a club battling to avoid relegation from La Liga, Moro is likely to leave this month to finance signings needed to strengthen other areas in the team.
Real Valladolid are aware of Celtic’s interest in their prize asset, but have yet to receive a financial proposal.
Speaking this week, Ajax’s Kroes confirmed: ‘We are interested in Raul Moro, yes. Moro can play on both the left and right wings.’
Initially signed from Lazio on a one-year loan deal, Moro earned a permanent contract after helping Real Valladolid to promotion last season, and has claimed four goals in 19 appearances so far this term.
Scouring the market for a wide player, Celtic also have an interest in Sarpsborg winger Sondre Orjasaeter.
Valued at £7m, the 21-year-old Norwegian has been extensively scouted, with Fiorentina, Parma and Nice also credited with an interest.
Brendan Rodgers is keen to strengthen his options in wide areas and allow Honduran winger Luis Palma to go out on loan in search of first-team football.

Liking the standard of player we're aiming for.
KT plus a good winger would be a big positive. 2 wingers would be delightful.Peej, CookieMonster, The_Bhoy and 6 others like this. -

He genuinely looks * class.
4 goals and 2 assists in 20 games this season for an absolutely pish Valladolid team.
Him and Kuhn with Kvistgaarden through the middle. Christ. -
Been really happy with the links so far, would be happy with this too.

Agree good to see the apparent standard of player being linked has improved. Although it may just be because we paid money for Engels we are now being thought of by more agents etc and all just media talk.Sgt Neppers* likes this.

Aye. Take.
Him and Orjasaeter. Given he can play either wings that's a massive bonus. -

Looks like a brilliant dribbler and very creative - a bit like Jota but seems quicker?
The type of player that if you put them in a better team, they’d score goals for fun. 100% take. -

We should have been doing this a while back instead of, what Rodgers alluded to jn the summer, selling high to buy higher.
Toi many years we've stuck with the 2-3 million market. About time we see the fruits of our transfer policySgt Neppers* likes this. -

Similar to Kuhn also in the way that he was highly rated at Barca then Lazio when a youngster but didn't quite work out and had to get game time at a lesser side.
Stats aren't insane but need to be taken in context of his current club. Would be getting him as his career takes a serious upturn.
Hopefully something in it. Getting him and Orjasaeter for a combined £14m or so would appear smart.Rydo1888* and Blochairnbhoy like this. -
